Before I start the unenviable game of "oh yeah, well revert this", I'm going to make my argument here.
The larger style images are inappropriate for the template because templates of this nature are not supposed to be that which draws your eye and attention -- the article is. Enlarging the images brings attention to them and detracts from the article. A template is supposed to be an addendum to the article for navigational purposes, not informational; I could have simply revamped the template to be text-only, but I felt the images lent it a sophistication that the original lacked. The images were not included for informational purposes (as indeed, templates are not needed or expected to be) but simply for a touch of "snaz" that did not require that they be particularly distinguishable, much less, legible.
If, for intangible or inarticulate reasons the images simply must be such a size, the template should be relegated to a less integrated section of the article -- the bottom for instance -- and be redesigned to be more appropriate for such a locale (horizontally, perhaps). — THOR 04:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
